.... And the vast majority of prisoners are nonviolent drug 'offenders' railroaded into jail via mandatory sentencing concocted in the 80s by 'Law and Order' Republicans.

Sentencing laws are changing, but not fast enough. The costs of keeping people locked up has exploded along with the numbers of people incarcerated- some states spend as much on prisons as they do higher education. If that's not a wake-up call, I don't know what is.

Curse that bastard Rockefeller, he was such a stupid git...
